Debian 12 "bookworm" support

[pgr0ss]

Debian 12 "bookworm" was released last month, but I don't see it as an option in your installation instructions:
https://www.phusionpassenger.com/docs/advanced_guides/install_and_upgrade/standalone/install/#select_os

And I also don't see it in your apt repo:

https://oss-binaries.phusionpassenger.com/apt/passenger/dists/

I was wondering if you were planning to support it, and if so, when you think you'll have packages for it? Thanks!

[CamJN]

We do plan to support it, it missed the last release due to a delay in the official docker image being released but it will almost certainly be included in the next passenger release.

Is there an ETA for Debian 12 "bookworm"?
I know this is the most hated question. The reason I aks is because Debian 11 uses openssl 1.1.1 and openssl 1.1.1 is EOF on 11 Sep 2023. So we like to move to Debian 12 "bookworm" which uses openssl 3.x
Thanks!

Is there an ETA for Debian 12 "bookworm"?

soon™

[aurels]

Is there a workaround like building the package manually in the meantime of soon™ becomes now™?
Thanks.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libnginx-mod-http-passenger : Depends: nginx-common (< 1.18.1) but 1.22.1-9 is to be installed

[CamJN]

@aurels absolutely, just checkout passenger & submodules then use the build script for the debian package, something like this:

git clone https://github.com/phusion/passenger.git
cd passenger
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd packaging/debian
mkdir /tmp/{c,o,w}
./build -p ../../ -c /tmp/c -o /tmp/o -w /tmp/w -d bookworm pkg:all

Then the packages will be in /tmp/o

[aurels]

Thanks @CamJN, I'll try !

I tried to run the commands on a fresh Debian 12 installation, and it gave this error in the end.

/root/passenger/packaging/debian/internal/lib/library.sh: line 30: docker: command not found

I even installed Docker and repeated the commands.

apt-get install docke

Do I need to run them in a specific directory?

[CamJN]

@celsoannes if you installed docker and the script cannot find docker, that's some kind of PATH issue. passenger/packaging/debian is the dir to run the build command from.

[pkilar43]

You need to install docker-ce or docker-ce-cli, not docker
apt-file search /usr/bin/docker

[ctessarek]

"apt-get install docker.io" did it for me on debian 12 itself :)

[celsoannes]

"apt-get install docker.io" did it for me on debian 12 itself :)

@ctessarek It didn't give that error anymore after installing docker.io.

i got the same error when trying as root. try again as non-root user (and make sure this non-root user is in the group "docker") :)
also, (i don't know if it's really required, but) i rebooted after installing docker.
now
./build -p ../../ -c /tmp/c -o /tmp/o -w /tmp/w -a amd64 -d bookworm pkg:passenger:bookworm:amd64
is running fine (still not finished, however, so who knows.. ;D )

[CamJN]

oh yeah the script requires the user that runs it to have a "user" uid, not a "system" uid, so if your uid is under 1024 or so you might have issues. I think by default debian/ubuntu creates normal users in a high enough range.
